Many, many races have changed. The JCGC used to be 12f...I remember way back then. At one time the BC Distaff used to be 10f. (At one time the race was called the BC Distaff as well!!) I actually remember that. In fact before I can remember the JCGC was even 16f. The distance has been changed twice in the last 40 years. Before the 1900s people didn't even drive cars or fly in airplanes. It was simply better. Getting smallpox was also fun. Augusta National used to be 6900 yards or so but it has changed as equipment has changed. They still hand out the green jacket each April.
Change isn't always that bad. The thoroughbred has perhaps changed for the worse, but change has occurred.
I don't care one way or the other, but I honestly don't think change would kill anything.
